I cant choose a favorite, but will come back to study the finer elements which create the whole i am sure! Glad you are back and sharing your WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits/page/2#post-839184 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 22:33:59 +0000 Astrid 839184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All awesome outfits! I always love looking at your outfit posts. I think my favourites are #2 and #9. I just love all the soft colors in #2 and the widelegs are such a great change from all the skinny jeans looks I'm seeing IRL at the moment, just awesome! I think I also want a pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits/page/2#post-839165 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:58:08 +0000 Aida 839165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Scarlet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits/page/2#post-839075 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:21:03 +0000 Scarlet 839075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you are looking especially wonderful! 1, 2, and 5 are my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits/page/2#post-839041 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 19:41:32 +0000 Aida 839041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow ladies, thank you all so much for the thoughtful comments! I really appreciate the detail and hearing which ones (and why!) you're especially drawn to. #4 really stuck a chord with everyone, which is great because that had a super high happiness factor for me!</p> <p>Tara, yes my style has definitely evolved quite a lot since coming to YLF! I feel like the underlying elements and overarching styles are still the same, just much more refined (and a bit less eclectic) now. The boot are Madden Girl "Sheldun" from a couple years ago. I did a quick search and didn't see any currently for sale on the bigger shoe sites, but if you hunted a bit more you might be able to find a pair.</p> <p>Manidipa, ooooh great observation on the textures in #1 and #5, that is not an association I'd made before! I am certainly drawn to those rustic-type prints/textures and to a lesser extent the dressing style (for weekends though), but certainly feel much more me when wearing those elements in a sleeker, urban way. Skinny jeans are the prime mainstream pant here, too, especially since it's just so PRACTICAL to have them tucked into boots with all the rain we get. I pounce on any "dry enough" day to pull out my floor-skimming hems! I very rarely see super wide hems like those in #9, at least in jeans; they do pop up in trousers on drier days.</p> <p>Karie, since my hair is very dark I can get away with having a single black element in my outfits. Since your hair is lighter, sometimes it will require a little extra bit of black to balance out depending on where/how much there is. I have to the same thing with light shoes or a lighter lower half (which generally work more easily with light hair), especially if I want to wear a dark top; I often will solve that by showing some skin on my arms :)</p> <p>Angie, aw thank youuu! Queen 70s checking in I like Urban 70s Glam Queen, that about sums me up (I'm finally working on getting more of the glam and rocker influences in my style this year now that I have my core wardrobe mostly in place!). I do find it amusing that now matter how sleek or non-70s I've tried to make myself look, or even in just a single outfit... I always seems to have that 70s flair! It is truly part of my style soul And BIG YES on the early 70s punk! I LOVE that part of punk style, has all the attitude of punk with a good dose of the natural look of the 70s. In fact that was exactly what I told with my hair stylist when I got the short 'do initially: "I want a late 70s early-punk vibe." Clearly that discussion paid off! And no worries, I have no desire to grow it out any time soon, although with helmet season coming up I am getting nervous about what I can do to combat helmet hair without my ponytail &gt;&lt;</p> <p>Zap, too bad about the furry vests but at least you've figured it out now! I tend to wear mine more in spring/summer/fall than in winter, and have lots of fun ideas for the upcoming season for my pretty from-Zap longer vest &lt;3 I am mostly back to regular schedule, just less time for the forum than before. So once I get these backlogged outfits up I'll be back to my usual weekly WIW posts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits/page/2#post-837789 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 02:19:02 +0000 Jaime 837789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, pure fashion eye candy! Just love all of them, and can't pick a favorite, but have special respect for the one with the black print blouse over jeans (#4), as whenever I try something like that it looks wrong. Will come back and examine later - thanks Aida! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits/page/2#post-837488 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:09:39 +0000 Niefern 837488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is too much for me in this post to absorb at once, but I will say I *love* 5, 6 and 11. So great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits/page/2#post-837294 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 19:10:49 +0000 Anonymous 837294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a treat, an Aida post. First, I am very happy that the fur vest has found its rightful owner and that Rita so graciously send this out to you. I have concluded furry vests and I do not get along. As a matter of fact, the Express one I bought around the same time as Rita, is on the 'bay" right now, along with the B44 dress. Heresy there on the B44. :)</p> <p>Wow, I don't even have a favorite, because I like all of them. I think these are interesting and playful, but still really urban and really you!!!'</p> <p>I hope this means you are back to regular schedule. I missed your WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits/page/2#post-837268 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 18:41:11 +0000 moira 837268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What style you have!<br /> These were worth the wait. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits/page/2#post-837263 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 18:31:42 +0000 MsMary 837263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOWZERS!! These are all super fab!! </p> <p>*waving at my sized-up-for-slouchiness sweater twin*</p> <p>I love them all but I have to say my fave is #7! That color! Those stripes! The fur!! LOVE!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits/page/2#post-837236 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 17:45:16 +0000 Tina.b 837236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida you have such great style, perfect proportions and fit, and most importantly outfits that really speak to your style. Love the 70's inspired looks in particular. My major interior design inspiration is 1970s luxe, and that is the focus as I work on completing the furnishings in my interior. You would fit into the vignettes just perfectly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837199 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 16:58:22 +0000 pil 837199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1, 4 and 10 oh my goodness! Now I know why Angie has all of those fainting spells : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837182 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 16:40:36 +0000 kellygirl 837182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, you certainly have hit your style stride. You have such an eye for detail and manage to make it look so effortless! Great use of color, texture and pattern. It would take me all day to put together one of these! It's hard picking a fave because they are all so fab. I love the punk element of , the subtle neutrals of 2, the bold graphic pattern mixing of 3....that's what I mean, every one of these is SO visually interesting that it kills me! </p> <p>Off to read the comments of those more eloquent than me. SO nice to see you back. I missed you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837162 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 16:16:35 +0000 texstyle 837162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also LOVE Aida posts! I think 3,4,5 and 10 are probably my favs but these are all so great and fun too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837145 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 15:56:05 +0000 Anonymous 837145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great seeing your outfit posts again. LOVE #1 and #7 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837137 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 15:45:24 +0000 Angie 837137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, there is nothing left to say but that you have KILLER style and that I especailly enjoy your outfits when your happiness factor is high :)</p> <p>I LOVE your '70s inspired looks! I hereby crown you Queen '70s. Perhaps your descriptor should be Urban 70s Glam Queen. You know - punk fashion started in the late '70s so there's your further connection. </p> <p>Never grow your hair out again!!! It's so perfect at the shorter length - which I saw irl - I could cry. </p> <p>You had me chuckling at hubs and his lack of outfit experimentation appreciation. Oh well! That's what work weeks are for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837133 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 15:39:13 +0000 merwoman 837133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Aida!! Love all your looks, and if my arm is twisted and I have to pick a fav - then 4,9,10, 11 would be my choices. Simply beautiful - you look like you're having so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837104 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 14:44:43 +0000 Karie 837104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had just joined and was loving your outfit posts, and then you disappeared! Nice to see you back again.<br /> I love #1, I like that you paired the plaid pants with the cream top - I always think I have to be matchy and bookend black on bottom, black on top - I like that you chose cream instead of black, it looks great!<br /> I like your use of scarves and necklaces to add extra interest to your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837096 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 14:25:57 +0000 Anonymous 837096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm blown away by all the delicious looks! I can't possibly choose a favourite!. When I can prise my DS off his Star Wars game on the main computer I'm gonna do some pinning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837072 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 13:16:16 +0000 Jjsloane 837072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could not get past 1. LOVE! Although 10 is another favorite, you have some great YOU looks here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837070 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 13:12:07 +0000 Jules 837070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aida, loving these outfits. Amazing outside the box combos. I'll comment specifically on the layered necklaces in #7, love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-837000 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 08:42:17 +0000 CocoLion 837000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.<br /> Wow.<br /> Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-836975 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 06:58:57 +0000 ManidipaM 836975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm. What a treat to see a bunch of you, Aida! This makes me very happy.</p> <p>I have a big soft spot for #1 and #5 --- those textures and patterns are so delightful together. Many of them have a certain 'rustic' implication (plaid, tweed) and yet are so polished the way you do them. Very intriguing.</p> <p>Also, that sweater in #2 is MAGIC! Love how it tones into the skinnies and boots, and even bookends the boots at the shoulder while echoing your hair colour. A very, very effective piece for your colouring --- and a clever way to maximise its appeal in the wearing.</p> <p>Like Suz, I'm charmed and surprised how well the pale blush jacket and light grey shoes work with the black and charcoal here. Even with your explanation, I'm left wondering --- how *do* you do it?! So stylish.</p> <p>EDIT: Also, ADORE you in those wide-leg pants. Such a fresh silhouette when skinnies are still the more mainstream look (well, around me, at any rate). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-836971 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 06:46:58 +0000 tarzy 836971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your style has evolved quite a bit from when you first started posting. I love how you're adding some more sophisticated pieces, yet still keeping that edgy vibe you do so well. Great outfits!</p> <p>(I have to ask about the grey boots in #4 (I love this one the best, I think!) I've been looking for a pair that height. Do you remember the brand/style?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-836948 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 05:46:21 +0000 Caro in Oz 836948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone is fab. #9 is my all time favourite - the wide-leg pants &amp; houndstooth are just so cool on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-836923 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 04:59:59 +0000 Mo 836923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving 4, and 10 - 11! Off to read other responses . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-836920 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 04:54:51 +0000 Beth Ann 836920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to see you post again, Aida! I love your plan for work/play capsules. You do ana amazing job of remixing pieces that you have chosen well. </p> <p>I'm feeling bold today -- drawn to those red plaid pants. Now, for a more subdued mood, I'd try the greys in #5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-836892 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 04:15:31 +0000 deb 836892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great but my favorites are #4 and #9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-836884 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 04:09:04 +0000 amiable 836884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my! they are all wonderful! 1-4 and 8 are my favorites I think, but really, they're all so terrific! </p> <p>I almost tried on red plaid pants today... now I wish I had! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits#post-836875 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 04:01:33 +0000 christy 836875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, so great to see you post you cutie, you! You know I love your style and I think all of these are great. But the one that I keep going back to is #4. I just love it - all of it. The feather top, those fab skinnies, those amazing boots. Perfection. But for some reason I'm back to black for myself, so the darker outfits are appealing to me. </p> <p>I also particularly like 1 &amp; 2 - what's not to love about plaid pants? And of course I love the Miz Mooz! 9 is stunning and in all ways awesome, especially buttoned up with the jacket and bag. And I think I just might be able to steal an idea or two from #10...hmmmm....</p> <p>You look amazing! </p>
